Shopify to Shopware Migration

Move from Shopify or Shopify Plus to Shopware 6 when checkout customization, B2B pricing, or catalog complexity hits a wall Shopify's app-based model can't solve cleanly.

Where Shopify's app model hits a wall

Shopify is genuinely good at what it's built for, which is why most merchants who leave aren't chasing a trend — they've hit a specific limit. Usually it's B2B: tiered pricing, negotiated customer pricing, or quote workflows that Shopify's checkout wasn't designed to express even with apps stacked on top.

The other common wall is catalog complexity — deep variant structures, bundles, or product relationships that start fighting Shopify's data model once a catalog scales past a certain size. At that point, apps that used to patch the gap start adding cost and fragility instead of solving the problem.

Rebuilding app functionality as native features

Every Shopify app your store depends on gets evaluated during discovery, not assumed to "just carry over." Simple functionality like reviews or basic subscriptions usually has a direct Shopware Store equivalent. More custom app logic — the kind stitched together from two or three apps talking to each other — gets rebuilt as one native Shopware plugin.

That consolidation is often the real upside: a native plugin doing what three apps used to do is one thing to maintain, not three vendor dependencies that can each break independently or change pricing on you.

What's included

Full product, variant, customer, and order export from Shopify's Admin API
Recreating Shopify app functionality (subscriptions, reviews, loyalty) as native Shopware plugins where it makes sense
B2B pricing, quote workflows, and customer-specific catalogs Shopify's app ecosystem can only approximate
Checkout logic rebuilt without Shopify's platform-level restrictions
URL and metadata mapping to protect SEO through the switch
Historical order data preserved for accounting and customer service continuity
How we work

How a shopify to shopware project runs

01

Scope the wall

Identify exactly what Shopify can't do for you — pricing rules, checkout logic, catalog structure — so the new build solves the real problem, not a vague upgrade.

02

Export & map

Pull products, customers, and orders via Shopify's API and map them onto Shopware 6's catalog and customer model.

03

Build

Storefront, checkout, and B2B logic built natively in Shopware rather than stitched together from app equivalents.

04

Migrate & launch

Parallel testing, a short freeze window for final sync, and DNS cutover with redirects in place.

We scope the actual wall, not a vague upgrade

Discovery identifies exactly what Shopify can't do for you — pricing, checkout, or catalog structure — so the Shopware build solves that specific problem.

Shopify apps rebuilt as native plugins

Custom app logic becomes one native Shopware plugin instead of several stacked app dependencies you have to maintain separately.

Order history pulled via Shopify's Admin API

Full order and customer history is exported and migrated, not left behind — with the old Shopify store kept as a readable backup after launch.

Honest about the operational trade-off

We tell you upfront that Shopware assumes more developer involvement than Shopify's managed platform, rather than after you've already launched.
